Short Track and NASCAR modeling

Looking good as always , Dave.

Are you replicating a particular race? If not, the exhaust dump location was not standardized.  The team would move it from side to side - depending on a number of factors. The point being: unless you're modeling a specific race - you can put it where you want it.

not too much to show as of yet.  tried some different colors for the headers and valve covers.

and that hood is damn shiny for now... until i smear water on it when i apply decals

going to do this differently due to the exhaust issue i posted about in another section, going to attach the rear suspension and engine before anything else is done so i can size the exhaust to the body.  shouldn't be too tough, i don't think, just some sizing and cutting of strip.  fingers crossed.

this isn't the best representation because of the exhaust stains, but it's what i am going for.  exhaust sits in a cutout in the side skirt.


i saw another photo where the exhaust exits out of the right side of the car... that would be less work

Has anyone on here built a model where they modified the rocker panels/side skirts to allow the exhaust to come through? I started a Mark Martin #01 Army car that has exhaust like this. I have some boom tubes to use and an idea of how to do the skirts. Was wondering if anyone has done this before that could offer their technique.

Thanks

The black B pillar on these Kodaks, really adds to the yellow. Always think on if that's a team or Kodak choice.

The black B pillar lasted as long as the Lumina did. Interwebs photos show the 1994 Sterling car with black pillars and the Sterling Montes had yellow ones.

Great-looking build. Nice detailing and stance.

Don't know the answer to that one, but later on when Bobby Hamilton was driving for them, they were body color.

Nice build, something about a car with a black interior looks sinister. Jaye's parts are addictive, waiting on another order now.

Well done Dave! Those Morgan-McClure cars always looked great.
